Real sporting director Pedja Mijatovic have had talks with Arsenal boss Wenger over the sale of Fabregas.
A Real insider said: “When Mijatovic raised the subject of Fabregas, he didn’t get the answer he expected from Wenger. What Wenger said was ‘I want Cesc to be a key part of any project I am in charge of, at Arsenal or elsewhere. For that reason I do not want him to be sold – but I could convince him to accompany me anywhere'”
